I know there are threads out there. but my concern is
The Anker battery 1900 MaH displays incorrect battery stat continuously.
no matter how many times i charge and discharge, it shows incorrect percentage. it stays on one percentage for a long time, and then drops 1 percent, but upon rebooting, it drops 4 percent straight away.
i have continuously charged now and rebooted and charged then rebooted and charged to try and get rid of this inconsistency but it doesn't seem to work.
Now on rebooting it has just jumped form 81% to 100%
anyone else with this problem and cure?
Which battery do you own or will buy
I don't think that's an anker battery problem my regular battery did the exact same thing....

I have a anker battery. Had it for about a month now. It reports fine. No random shutoffs or anything. I calibrate it every chance I get though.

recovery will not help...its a myth... may b as i assume the exploit used to get s-off dangerously messed up the battery safety limits and charging system...coz all now is sw controlled....to get rid of this... its recommended to return to s-on and stock and re unlock via htc code.... untill a safe method like dhd comes up using a safe exploit

Ouch, isnt that kinda harsh? My HTC battery seemed like it was like this before S-OFF as well, but I could be wrong.
I wonder if Alpharev is aware of this potential problem?
It seems that even though a reset causes the % to go up, it quickly comes back down to what it was at before. The charging stops at 4.12v, like it should, so I would say there may be something else up.
I was having the same problem with my stock battery AND my Anker. What I ended up doing is getting my battery to a low charge, then I wiped the battery stats in Recovery. I then charged the phone to 100% and used the Battery Calibration app to calibrate the battery. I used the phone and drained the battey untill it died, it was still reporting wrong percentage. Fully charged and did it again and drained the battery once more, from there it starting reporting normal precentages and still has to this day. Did this about a week ago.
Try it and report back.
A short summary of this would be to
1. Get phone to a low charge
2. Wipe battery stats.
3. Fully charge.
4. Use battery calibration app once it hits 100%(try to leave it charging for another hour after it hits 100%)
5.Use the device normally until it dies.
6. Charge the device again and repeat #5.
7.Report back here and tell me if it worked for you and then Thank my post if it did

well yes bro...but after s-off the batt voltage when sensation dies was merely 2.5v not even enought to charge again... so b cautious i am 100% sure batt safety limit is broke... and i helped 5 of my frndz to jumpstart after all dies and all had same voltage 2.49 so it is risky.... though on stock if fone dies still it charges coz it has min charge to b alive
I don't recommend the Momax battery, I tried one and the phone seriously overheated and switched itself off, then the battery wouldn't charge again.
That's the first and last time I'll try a cheap battery.

Try team win recovery, I heard that helps. Cwm is having a lot of battery bugs right now, it's not your battery specifically. I too have an anker.

Strange! Ive never seen a lithium ion go below 3.3v when dead. When I let my battery die (to where I cant reboot the phone without letting it charge some) it is around 3.4v.
I wonder if S-OFF may have hurt some people and not others, purely by chance? I dont have any charging problems, but do see the miracle capacity boost on reboot. (Although it quickly drops down with some use). The only thing I see that is serious is reported standby current.

Ive got a "cheap" battery and so far so good. ChiChitec 1900mA/Hr. I dont like that it doesnt report temperature. That pisses me off! Do any other the higher end extended range batteries report temperature correctly?

So my sensation started heating up quickly to about 39C and only cools down to about 30+.
I'm running the stock 2.3.4, rooted with S-OFF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

With the weather we are having this week 39c isnt bad at all. During heavy use I saw 46c once on the stock battery before changing to an Anker (which feel cooler to the touch), and that was in much cooler weather
As long as it stays below 50c under heavy usage its perfectly normal for a sensation in my oppinion.

The weather is amazing! Makes u want to strip & run naked
Where did you buy your Anker from? Amazon? And if I flashed a custom ROM or a different kernel, would it solve the problem?

Yep, bought it from amazon...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-1900mAh-Li-ion-Battery-Sensation/dp/B0053EZJMC/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Note: battery widgets/monitors report the wrong temperature on 3rd party batteries with the sensation. The back of the phone feels much cooler to the touch though under heavy use so its definitely running cooler than the stock battery.
If you underclocked the phone it would probably run cooler then, but I really wouldnt worry about the heat unless your seeing temps of 50c+ on the stock battery.
Cheers
Does the sensation actually have no cooling methods, not even a minute on lowest brightness playing running fred and it got warm and even in the very few seconds it is takig to write this it is feeling warm already and I have no tasks running it any syncs or anything rubbing.
Does any phone have a cooling method?
Most of the heat is probably generated by the CPU or Battery so you could try underclock.
The phones have passive cooling methods. But under heavy load they're not so effective. Try an ics build... They solved the heating issues on my case

You could damage it that way... Better use a hair dryer ( on cold of course )
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk
The fact that you can feel the heat means the phone is dissipating the energy.
Might be the battery, I had a similar problem using stock battery, it got to over 45C under heavy load! Got a anker battery and it sits at 25C all day and never gets hot at all. It depends on your phone some people have extreme overheating problems with anker batteries. But might be worth looking into. Download battery monitor widget and keep an eye on temperature first though.

As I said, the humidity of a refrigerator can damage your phone. I'm just stressing it so you don't end up with a phone exploding or whatever

Seriously? Didn't know that . it seems to solve my overheating problems anyway, my stock battery got so hot I couldnt hold the phone but like now with my anker battery I've been using it without the screen turning off for about 2 hours and its still cool
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE using xda premium
Well um generally it is not the battery at all that causes thr overheating its the cpu. I had my phone go up to 40 degrees Celsius but the battery was actually fairly cool, its always the bottom of the phone, where the battery isn't that it starts to overheat.

Underclocking makes the CPU work longer and prevents the CPU from sleeping so that might not help much. I don't recommend anything that could get wet (fridge, ice bag, etc...). Tethering, GPS Navigation, heavy use and charging usually produce the most heat. I use a small desk fan if it's near.
Never had this issue before ..
When i use my phone normally it heats up real quickly im using the 1900mah anker battery but it wasn't like this before the other day..
I forgot my phone in the car and when i took it back it was extremely hot because of the sun but since then it overheats i tried changing clock speeds aswell changing rom.. so im sure its not the roms..

Try changing to a different kernel, they have better temperature control/redundancies than the stock kernels (which I'm assuming you're using due to your sig )
Try Faux or Bricked, they're in the Dev thread.
Battery could be damaged because of the extreme heat? Just a thought but it shouldn't happen though.
Hows the battery life?

Also food for tough.. I had this problem with my phone because of a service was hanging on 95% CPU.. I force closed it, but it automatically started again, so I had to wipe and re-install the ROM.
The buttons tend to get hot, I've noticed this. Has nothing to do with battery temp.
Check the battery temperature, it will not be more than 40 deg Cel.

Turn the brightness down, turn of auto sync and as suggested before turn of the buttons. Brightness has also caused my overheats so I keep it down whenever I can.
From my experience of 3 batteries, stock anker and a saner the battery has had no effect on the overheating, could it just be a placebo effect?

Hiya
I have a HTC Sensation XE and i went to bed with it on charge with charge already in it.
When i woke up it was totally dead, it wouldn't turn on nor show the light when it is on charge and i cannot get any life out of it no matter what.
It has already been back to O2 for repairs due to the same problem which they fixed for 5 days.
I have now got a HTC One X but want to fix my sensation for a friend.
It isn't rooted and isn't water damaged.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

I put a volt reader on the battery after it had been on "charge" for 24 hours and the battery reads 4v and the phone reads 4v when plugged into the charger, so i know its not a battery fault.
When you plug it into the computer, nothing happens what so ever. no lights, noises etc. It's completely dead.

Hi
Try this and see if it helps...
charge your phone continuously for 6-8 hours without battery and than put battery again with charger pluged in and then try to turn on your phone..
Lots of people recover by doing this ...:fingers-crossed:
That didn't work either
